Glad you like it, Paul!  I can address one of these questions for you.

The underlying data model is already there.  If you go look with the 
query editor, you will see that there are already polylingual names for 
things:

{
   "query": {
     "id": "/wikipedia/en/New_York_City",
     "name": [{}]
   }
}

{
   "result": {
     "id": "/wikipedia/en/New_York_City",
     "name": [
       {
         "lang": "/lang/fr",
         "type": "/type/text",
         "value": "New York"
       },
       {
         "lang": "/lang/de",
         "type": "/type/text",
         "value": "New York City"
       },
       {
         "lang": "/lang/it",
         "type": "/type/text",
         "value": "New York"
       },
       {
         "lang": "/lang/ja",
         "type": "/type/text",
         "value": "ニューヨーク"
       },
       {
         "lang": "/lang/es",
         "type": "/type/text",
         "value": "Nueva York"
       },
       {
         "lang": "/lang/en",
         "type": "/type/text",
         "value": "New York"
       }
     ]
   }
}

This isn’t yet exposed in the UI, but the data is there and can be 
manipulated in queries.
